  4. Acts 10:15-16 But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.”The same vision was repeated three times. Then the sheet was suddenly pulled up to heaven.

  5. Acts 10:44-46 Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message. The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too. For they heard them speaking in other tongues and praising God.

  6. Acts 13:50; 14:19 Then the Jews stirred up… and they incited a mob against Paul and Barnabas and ran them out of town. Then some Jews… won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead.

  7. Acts 15

  8. Acts 15:1-21 While Paul and Barnabas were at Antioch of Syria, some men from Judea arrived and began to teach the believers: “Unless you are circumcised as required by the law of Moses, you cannot be saved.”Paul and Barnabas disagreed with them, arguing vehemently.

  9. Galatians 2:4 …some so-called Christians there – false ones, really – who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.

  10. Acts 15:5 But then some of the believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up and insisted, “The Gentile converts must be circumcised and required to follow the law of Moses.”

  11. Acts 15:2 Paul and Barnabas disagreed with them, arguing vehemently. Finally, the church decided to send Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem, accompanied by some local believers, to talk to the apostles and elders about this question.

  12. Acts 15:3 The church sent the delegates to Jerusalem, and they stopped along the way in Phoenicia and Samaria to visit the believers. They told them—much to everyone’s joy —that the Gentiles, too, were being converted.

  13. Acts 15:4 When they arrived in Jerusalem, Barnabas and Paul were welcomed by the whole church, including the apostles and elders. They reported everything God had done through them.

  14. Acts 15:5 But then some of the believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up and insisted, “The Gentile converts must be circumcised and required to follow the law of Moses.”

  15. Acts 15:6-7a So the apostles and elders met together to resolve this issue.At the meeting, after a long discussion, Peter stood and addressed them as follows:

  16. Acts 15:7b-8 “Brothers, you all know that God chose me from among you some time ago to preach to the Gentiles so that they could hear the Good News and believe. God knows people’s hearts, and he confirmed that he accepts Gentiles by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us

  17. Acts 15:9-10 He made no distinction between us and them, for he cleansed their hearts through faith.So why are you now challenging God by burdening the Gentile believers with a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors were able to bear?

  18. Acts 15:11 We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.”

  19. Acts 15:12 Everyone listened quietly as Barnabas and Paul told about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

  20. Acts 15:13-14 When they had finished, James stood and said, “Brothers, listen to me. Simon… has told you about the time God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people for himself.

  21. Acts 15:15-16a And this conversion of Gentiles is exactly what the prophets predicted. As it is written:‘Afterward I will returnand restore the fallen house of David.

  22. Acts 15:16a-18 I will rebuild its ruins and restore it,so that the rest of humanity might seek the Lord,including the Gentiles—all those I have called to be mine. The Lord has spoken—he who made these things known so long ago.’

  23. Ephesians 2:19-20 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners.You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.

  24. Acts 15:17 so that the rest of humanity might seek the Lord

  25. Luke 5:36-39 No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to patch an old garment. For then the new garment would be ruined, and the new patch wouldn’t even match the old garment. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the new wine would burst the wineskins, spilling the wine and ruining the skins.

  26. Michael Frost, Alan Hirsch, “The Shaping of Things to Come” Whether [new Protestant church movements] place their emphasis on new worship styles, expressions of the Holy Spirit’s power, evangelism to seekers, or Bible teaching, these so-called new movements still operate out of the fallacious assumption that the church belongs firmly in the town square, that is, at the heart of Western culture. And if they begin with this mistaken belief about their position in Western society, all their church planting, all their reproduction will simply mirror this misapprehension.

  27. N.T. Wright: “Surprised By Hope” We could cope – the world could cope – with a Jesus who ultimately remains a wonderful idea inside his disciples' minds and hearts. The world cannot cope with a Jesus who comes out of the tomb, who inaugurates God's new creation right in the middle of the old one.

  28. Matthew 6:9-10 Our Father in heaven,may your name be kept holy.May your Kingdom come soon.May your will be done on earth,as it is in heaven.

  29. Acts 15:19 And so my judgment is that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

  30. Acts 15:20 Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from eating food offered to idols, from sexual immorality, from eating the meat of strangled animals, and from consuming blood.

  31. Acts 15:21 For these laws of Moses have been preached in Jewish synagogues in every city on every Sabbath for many generations.”

  32. We like to think… try harder work harder be better do something earn my salvation

  33. No entrance requirements but… Don’t … eat food offered to idols practice sexual immorality eat the meat of strangled animals consume blood

  34. Acts 15:28 …it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay no greater burden on you than these few requirements You must abstain from eating food offered to idols,from consuming bloodor the meat of strangled animals,and from sexual immorality. If you do this, you will do well. Farewell.

  35. Acts 15:23 This letter is from the apostles and elders, your brothers in Jerusalem. It is written to the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.Greetings!
